Description

A report on the ‘Conversion of dry latrines to pour flush toilets in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh’. It captures how the district administration of Badaun, with active support from UNICEF’s Social Mobilization Network, took up the initiative of converting dry latrines to pour flush in 2009. Till a few years back, Badaun had the dubious distinction of the highest number of polio cases in a district. Of the 66 blocks identified as high-risk for polio in Uttar Pradesh in 2010, 16 are in Badaun alone. This report also contains testimonies of district officials, UNICEF mobilizers and community – all telling the story of change.
